BigTen Regular Season Champions Vs. OSU

[Ignatius L Hoops]

What a strange first period. There were some nifty looking non-goal efforts and then the two penalties on the goalie. I don't recall seeing that in a gopher game. I recall a Badger goalie getting a misconduct and having to sit in the box; but not two penalties in a period. Anyway, the interference call was a classic and added some juice to the proceedings.

Man, Faber crashing the net was a great way to kick off the scoring

Didn't get a chance to watch, but sounds like goalie kicking the net off was an issue. That gets called so rarely, I'd almost rather the rule change so it is an automatic penalty if a goalie knocks the net off without any contact from another player. Kind of like the defenseman shooting the puck over the glass without a delflection in the NHL: doesn't matter if it was on purpose, you just need to not do it otherwise you get a penalty.

Minnesota hockey is legit. Enjoy the ride!

Over/Under on timing of the first "kick the net off".

Thuggish early on from Ohio state

What the heck were 81 and 89 doing on that shift. They realize they can get suspended for the semi right...

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Those are not good hits by snuggerud and Knies. Snuggy could be 5. Knies was high.

Of course it was a big missed call at center ice on Jimmy when he was cross checked right to the head. That lead to all of this.

 

[bonin21]

I see why 81 was mad after the high hit against him.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Those seem like the right calls. The refs just can’t miss the play 45 seconds earlier that lead to everything.

 

[bonin21]

Yikes, two fives that will both get investigated.

 

[BTChamp]

Same here. I was wondering what the hell they he was thinking.

 

[BTChamp]

This could get ugly fast.

No game misconduct though? They can both come back?

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Close should have knocked the net off there.

 

[BTChamp]

I don't know the rule, I thought it was unlimited scoring.

 

[bonin21]

Ya, not sure why both are still in the game but part of it could be for the sake of the fans...

1 goal on that PP is almost guaranteed. Key will be keeping it to 1

He's talking about 81 and 89 after the fives are done

Never mind, yes I misunderstood. I thought it was about can they come back after a goal. I'm a little slow............

I thought 89 would for sure get 5 and a game. 81 was more questionable and maybe should not have been a 5, but was for sure a penalty. Refs realized they needed to put a lid on things before they got out of control and this was their opportunity. Not that 81 and 89 didn’t earn both penalties.

 

[DarrenTheGreek]

Here we thought OSU would goon it up. Gotta be smarter than that.

 

[bonin21]

That hurts.

 

[BTChamp]

4 seconds away from giving up 0 goals.

 

[bonin21]

We are looking for regulation wins in the race against Qpac, not OT squeakers anymore.

 

[bonin21]

4 seconds away from giving up 0 goals.

Good point

 

[BTChamp]

Good point

Get 1 back this period and things look better.

Gophers seems to be more interested in hitting and chirping then they do just playing their game.
